Six Languages

I used to eat more VQR cheese when I lived in Morocco. So, until a couple of days ago, I had not realised that there is a special edition of the VQR boxes in Spain, featuring boxes in six languages.

The funny thing is how they have written the name of the brand:
-English: The Hahaha Cow
-Chinese: 哈哈牛
-Spanish: La Vaca que Jajaja
-Arabic:  البقرة ههههه
-Hindi:  हाहाहा करती (Not sure how to write this... Can someone help?)
-French: La Vache qui Hahaha

This seems to have been made for this postal project!

More Cheez Dippers

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)

I like this modern version of the Laughing Cow and her friends. But I must confess that I have never tasted the Cheez Dippers variety.

Have I shown this cowstamp before?

And inside...

More cards to play Vacha'lauréat, with some real and fake labels...

Glittery VQR

Sent by Igakusei (Spain)

Does the VQR,,,?

What do you think? The VQR eat VQR cheese as snack? Does it sound a bit... odd?

How many flavours...? (2)

• Classic cream (with a 3/4 less fat version)
• Strawberries and cream
• Cinnamon cream
• Garden vegetable

And all these new varieties have 45 calories par wedge, but I do not know whether it is little or much...

I'm sure they have even more! And what if you want to eat a plain triangle of VQR?!?

How many flavours...? (1)

Did you realise how many flavours (or flavors) they offer in the USA? It is amazing!

• Babybel original
• Babybel light
• Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil
• Garlic & Herbs
• Queso Fresco & Chipotle (queso means 'cheese' in Spanish, so I find this flavour specially interesting).

Vacha'lauréat

These letters appear sometimes in the back of the cheese labels. When that happen, you find a card with questions inside the box. So, this is the game: you must answer the question with a word beginning with the letter you have got in your portion. And I guess that if you fail, you feel like eating another triangle...

The name of the game in French is Vacha'lauréat, a word game with the words vache ('cow') and baccalauréat that means: 'categories (game)' and also 'baccalaureate'. But in Belgium they use another name for the game: La course aux meuhs.

I have found/received so far cards in different languages and shapes. It is amazing to check the differences!

In Dutch: Koeien ('cows') Letters

In French (Belgium): La course aux Meuhs

In French (France): Vacha'lauréat

In German (Switzerland): Achtung, Fertig, Kuh!

In Portuguese: Viraletras

In Spanish: Vacaletras

What is my secret?

These bilingual cards were inside Canadian VQR boxes. I feel disappointed when I realised they contained just recipes, and not the VQR secret announced (if there is one VQR secret...).

More bilingual

Sent by Rosemary (Canada)

It is the first one I receive from a box of 32 portions. I am still amazed by the bilingual matter. Even in the advertising inside the box:

English in one side, French in the other side. But did you realise there is a slight difference in the slogan encouraging to try this new flavour? In English they wrote: "So mild and so smooth!". But in French they wrote: "Rire c'est drôlement bon!" (='Laughter is so good/yummy').

TAP'S Circus

This was the promotion during this summer: with every box of VQR cheese they offer you TAP's. As you can see, the word TAP'S is not translated into Arabic. I am not able to translate it into my language neither.

Anyway, I love the idea of associate VQR with circus. Here you can see my first three TAP'S, front and back. How beautiful and modern she looks here! I'll use them for mail art.

And there are twelve different, as you can see in the back of the box:

Advert inside the box

Sent by John (the UK)

This advertisement appeared inside this box.

The back of the postcard is very nice, so I must show it here

The Laughing Cow

Sent by John (the UK)

This is the first VQR I received with the name in other language! It is the light version, and it contained no wedges, no portions, but triangles.

As usual John managed to find the perfect stamp for every postcard (I don't mean the ones with the queen):
